[hibernate-dev] Hosting of binaries

[Brett Meyer]

Sorry, late to this...

My vote would be to get rid of SourceForge entirely.  I can't stand their ethics, services, or downtime...

We use download.jboss.org for Artificer and haven't had any issues.  Fully supports SCP or SFTP -- I already have it scripted and would be more than happy to help put it together for Hibernate.  Plus, jboss.org/redhat.org now include Splunk for parsing the server logs -- getting download metrics is fairly straight-forward.
